Amy Adams loves balancing motherhood and acting career

The Enchanted star has 2-year-old daughter Aviana with her fiancé - actor and artist Darren Le Gallo - and claimed that although it can be stressful she loves both roles.

Adams told USA Today: "I love that balance. I had a talk show blitz the other day.

"I had three hours down, so I raced home, changed out of my nice clothes and we walked to Central Park (in New York City) and did the merry-go-round because I promised her we'd do it before we went back - and she remembers. And then we walked back."

The 38-year-old star also revealed that Aviana is a very strong-willed child and doesn't like to be comforted by her mother when she is upset.

Recalling a flight when Aviana wouldn't stop crying, she said: "It's funny. She doesn't like to be held when she's upset. She's very independent.

"This one woman kept going, 'Why doesn't she just pick her up?' It's like, 'Do you know what would happen if I tried to pick my child up right now? She would lose her mind'. I probably shouldn't worry about it. I love my child."

The Master actress added that she regards each project as an exciting adventure and enjoys seeing the final product on the big screen.

She explained: "It's like having a 'this is your life' moment. This is what I spent the last two and a half years doing.

"It's wonderful and so surreal. The experience of making the film is always the special part."
